ed himself well pleased with the result
of the Chicago election. "A public meeting
was held in the house Of representatives.
Mr.. Powderly presided and made speech,
in which he asserted

lated the example OF their brethren in New
Jersey and insist upon the examination OF
all labor bills before they were passed.
We are charged with being anarchists and
favoring measures that tend to anarchy.
,As chief OF our organization can say that
anarchy finds no abiding place in our
midst; but monopolists want to make
people believe the contrary No matter
what errors we have committed in the past,
we have always aimed at doing right We
have pursued a line OF policy and found out
things that are ri ght and wrong, but we have
always kept clear OF the one thing that brings
odlum on our country-anarchy." He re-
lolced, therefore, is the defeat Of the anar-
chist candidates in Chicago. was glad to
see that the workingmen OF that city were
good enough to throw the lie back into the
faces to those who posed as their friends
and representatives. No sooner did the
anarchist ticket go before the people than
supporters said, 'Wewill carry the ticket
under the flag on whose lace not one star.
gllstens, not one stripe is to be found, and
the teaching OF such men as Powderly and
Griffiths will have no weight with u.s. But
they found election day that anarchy was
showed under as it was never showed un-
der before, and [ say amen to that every
time.
BURST OF PATRIOTISM.
did not know but what in the decora-
ton OF this hall you might forget to
place the American flag on the walls
Thursday, that it might be for
gotten. brought this with me this morn
ing. here Mr.: Powderly exhibited a flag
amid tremendous applause7, and
brought it here SO that il it were charged
that we were not Americans, wecould show
that we were don't care where I was
born; don't care where the rest OF you
were born; but we swear by that flag and
no other. Let them Tomorrow morn
ing after these out-bursts OF APP
plause charge us with being any
thing but free-born American citizens, and
these manifestations which you have given
expression to will be the refutation OF that
lie which will ring down the century in
condemnation OF the red flag. Now broth
ers, we are here and we will stand or fall
by the sentiments have given utterance to.
We are here as Americans to watch
American legislation in the interests OF
the American people and in our Amer
lcan way. and also to say that these
men who assembled a hundred years
ago lnPhlladelphia and gave out the Dec
laratlon OF Independence to the world were
right when they declared that all men were
created Tree and equal and endowed with
certain lnalienable rights, and that we
believe they told the truth and that it
st1ll continues to be the truth instead OF a
living lie, as some OF these men would
have people believe. We can do this with
out being anarchists, without being
partisans and without being tied to
the charcoal wheels OF either the old demo-
cratic or republican party. 1t was now an
impossibility for a amechanic to earn enough
by his own labor to support his family. He
had to call in the help OF his wife and chill
dren. He wanted the barriers between a
life OF shame and a life of virtuous industry
greater than fifty cents day. The chill
dren should be taken off the coal breaker
and kept at school. The public could not
exist on red flag foundation ofignorance,
vice and crime
industrial schools should be esta blished
and hands and brains educated at the
same time. The legislature a few years
ago would not have paid the slightest at
tenClon to labor organization, but now
the Knights OF labor could defeat any cam
didate, and SO q word to the wise in this legis-
lation would be sufficient. The boycott was
wrong for the man that was boycotted,
and so was the blacklisting wrong for the
man that made the blacklist. He did not
believe in either system. He believed in
arbitration, and he would make arbitra-
tion compulsory.
Important Cabinet Meeting.
Washington Special Cabinet met on the
Sth, and remained in session over three
hours. The meeting was devoted almost
entirely to the consideration OF interna-
tional questions, the most important re-
lating to the Canadian fisheries, the policy
OF Great Britain in regard to the island OF
Hayti, and the seal fisheries OF Alaska.
In regard to the fisheries question it is
understood that informa tion has been re-
ceived to the effect that England sustains
the position taken by the Canadian au-
thorities and is in no wise disposed to make
This question was considered by the cab
met with the view to the advis-
ability OF suitable action by the
President under the provisions OF
the retaliatory act. The alleged de-
mand OF Great Britain for the possession
OF the Tortugas Islands, on the payment
by the Hay ytien government OF 81 100000

sidered at some length. The United States
